Satire wearing white gloves: Frank Crowninshield, later the celebrated editor of Vanity Fair, skewers New York society in this mock guide to country houses, conversation, dinners and dances. Every straight-faced rule conceals a wink at the people who follow such rules. Eleven thousand words of polished mischief from the 1900s. Etiquette's funniest impostor.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
